Hey, when chairman Senator Al Gore lost his composure like a child while telling would-have-been-presidential-candidate-in-the-near-future-if-he-had-not-died-of-very-rapidly-growing-prostate-cancer hearing witness Frank Zappa that he had been a 'fan of yours, Mr Zappa, for my entire life,' I have to admit, I had more hope for ol' Al than he ever deserved. I also heard him give a fine address on CSpan recently. In his self-introduction he mentioned his life in politics with a line something like this "You know, you either win or your lose and in just a very few instances something other than that happens." Environmentalist he wasn't, but often there was a glimpse of a real human being within the deepsea diving outfit he always seems to be wearing under his suit. -Allan
